Last three league meetings in Cádiz

Our last three trips to the south coast have seen us pick up three victories. Last season saw a 1-0 win thanks to a Lucas Ocampos strike, while the previous season got underway with a 3-1 win - De Jong, Munir and Rakitic were the scorers.

To find a third league match, we have to go all the way back to the 2005/06 season. We ran out 4-0 winners with Saviola, Puerta, Kepa and Kanouté on the scoresheet.

Mendilibar has named a 21-man squad, with Fernando missing out due to suspension, while Rekik, Marcao and Papu Gómez are injured. As for the hosts, Ledesma and Iza Carcelén are suspended, while Garrido, Zaldúa, Ocampo, Cala and Escalante have not recovered from their injuries.
